By on July 14, 2020

Announced earlier today, electronics retailer Best Buy has announced all customers will be required to wear face masks when shopping inside retail locations. This new requirement starts on July 15 at all locations in the United States.

If a customer doesn’t have a mask, a Best Buy employee will offer a mask at the front door. Small children unable to wear a mask for health reasons will be exempt from wearing one. Any customer that refuses to wear a mask will be directed to shop on Best Buy’s website for either home delivery or curbside pickup.

  • Best Buy (starts July 15)
